Jacob Wilson's 2026 Season Over With Shoulder Surgery Scheduled
The Athletics shortstop will go under the knife Sept 16 for a lingering left shoulder issue that has kept him out since Aug 16.
Jacob Wilson will have left shoulder surgery on September 16, officially ending his 2026 season. The A's placed him on the 10-day IL and then the 60-day IL within the past week. Wilson's shoulder trouble began in May with a sprain and resurfaced in August, limiting him to 80 games and a .266/.298/.388 slash line. A full recovery timeline will be set after the procedure, with a 2027 return the target.
